Handling Files for a Project Management Application (
Page 1 of 4 )
In this article we will be discussing how to handle the files that a project needs. We will also be looking at how to upload files using standard PHP functions. This article is the sixth part of a seven-part tutorial that explains how to build a project management application. Be sure to check out the other articles in the series.The first script that we will discuss is the view_files.php script. This script will be responsible for listing all the files that are used in a given project. When a user uploads a file, the name of the file and project id are stored in the database. The physical file is stored in a folder called 'p_files'.
Below is the entire code that makes up this script:
<?php
include "dbcon.php";
include "functions.php";
if(isset($_GET['pid'])){
//clean pid
if(!is_numeric($_GET['pid'])){
//the value received is not numeric. redirect the user to login
header("location:login.php");
}
//otherwise clean the received value for query use
$cpid = mysql_escape_string($_GET['pid']);
//get project name
$getname = "SELECT title FROM projects WHERE pid = '".$cpid."'";
$g_result = mysql_query($getname);
if(!$g_result){
echo mysql_error()
}else{
$rowname = mysql_fetch_assoc($g_result);
$title = $row['title'];
}
//get the files
$getfiles="SELECT * FROM files WHERE p_id = '".$cpid."' ORDER BY fid";
$result = mysql_query($getfiles);
if(!$result){
echo mysql_error();
}else{
$num=mysql_num_rows($result);
}
?>
